3. Sign up and attend an upcoming volunteer orientation and training
through the volunteer coordinator.

for a minimum of 8 consecutive weeks.

5. BOK Ranch
participants are not permitted to work as BOK Ranch volunteers without
first successfully completing the BOK Vocational Program. The duration
of this program will be set on a case by case basis.

Working side by side with B.O.K Ranch’s certified instructors and horses are over
100 program volunteers.
The B.O.K. Ranch staff and volunteers work together to form a vital team that is
essential to the success of our riders.
Without the help of volunteers, there would be no program;
we greatly appreciate the help of our dedicated and caring volunteers.

Volunteers assist with grooming, tacking, preparing students and horses for lessons,
and general stable management.
During lessons, horse handlers, sidewalkers and spotters are needed.

Prospective volunteers need not have experience with horses or experience with those
with special needs.
Volunteer trainings are held to orientate new volunteers and to provide them with
the knowledge and skills necessary.

Because volunteers play such a vital role during lessons, we ask that volunteers
commit to one morning or afternoon of classes.
